I'm being offered a mining rig with these specs, my intention is to either mine ETH or ZEC, locally energy cost is below USD 0.06, and the seller is telling I'd be able to get 185 Mh/s on ETH and 1850 Sol/s on ZEc at 1000 watts, cost is USD 4,400.

*Intel Core i3 7100
*8 GB of RAM
*6 x GPUs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
*128GB solid state drive
*Custom frame
*Energy source 1200W 80 Plus Gold

My question, will I get those hashrates, is it a worthy investment

Thanks All

Your setting costs too much! I recommend just use Intel Celeron G3930, 850W PSU is enough for 6x1060. Currently, I have 2 rigs of 1060 mine XMR, profit is so far so good.

I would recommend using cloud mining or some variant of it if you really wish to mine. Considering electricity cost, its unprofitable to mine in most places in the world.

I disagree. Go here https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/btc?HashingPower=7.5&HashingUnit=TH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=110&CostPerkWh=0.1

Enter your coin of choice, hash rate, wattage and power cost. If you have average power costs it is definitely profitable. No going to make you rich by any means on a small scale but it is pretty easy to make a profit. I figure my miners will pay for themselves in less than 10 months if current conditions hold and after that I should pocket around $350 a month per 6 rig miner.

GPU mining, including ZEC is profitable. I would recommend doing your own research and determine what's best for your own situation, rather that listening to random people.

How can i mine Zec

Thank all, great response this is what I love so much about this community, the desire to help one another.

I'm glad I didn't buy it, I'm actually located in Colombia and it's kind of hard to find the other components mentioned throughout the responses, and I've been mostly into trading so don't know much about the required specs to mine efficiently a certain coin. I'll take a look at the different suggestions on the board.

By the way don't know If I should ask this elsewhere, but if you guys could suggest other set ups to mine aside from the ones already mentioned on the board, I'd be really grateful

Thanks again!

6 GTX 1060 can't do 185 mh/s on ETH. Not even close. 1850 sol/s is plausible.

See in your country how much this hardware costs but U$ 4.400 is too high even if you're in a African country in times of war.

This is true, 1060 should get around 18mh/s at stock clock, so 6x will be only 108mh/s, 185mh/s is impossible even with overclocking.

Whereas, you can get more than 1850sol/s if you overclock them. Typically 300sol/s per card at stock clock.

shop around and find the parts at best prices first! once all assembled and running then it would certainly be a help for those who use it to go to http://whattomine.com/coins

You won't see 31 Mh/sec on ETH with those cards. Might see 140-160 total with tweeking if you push them hard enough.
ZEC numbers sound about right per posted hashrates I've seen on those cards.

The i3 is a waste in a pure mining rig. Lower-cost G-series Pentium would be plenty.

I wouldn't pay more than $2500 for this rig AT MOST, $4000+ is a ripoff.

I have yet to see a 1060 6GB hit 26.66 MH/s. Best case scenario is 144 Mh/s.
185 Mh/s is definitely more for 1070s in which case the rig might have been worth it (but im eager to see what Vega 56 will bring in terms of $/watt/Mh/s

for now monero is the best to mine for 1060's i have 16 1060's and mining monero.
and looking for some shitcoins to mine

What is your current hashrate per 1060? I'm running on Zcash right now, but would like to move to Monero.

$4400 is very high for this config. Don't fall on that

With $4400, he can buy 6X1080.

Try with some ather seller, these look like not reliable.
6x 1060 gtx cant eve go close to that speeds, and price is imposible to real. Maybe rig is with 6x1070 gtx gpu?

With that config I would get 2 more cards to make 8 gpu's and get two 750w PSUs instead of the 1200. And as the other have said, price is too high.
